Save the Pagoda!!!

SAVE THE PAGODA!! Congrats go out to Robert Hong- who at 52 has won a SHITLOAD of money in the past year. That's right- shitload. He split 340000 with a friend back in April- and he just won 15 MILLION!! This is a guy who was already living VERY comfortably.

Here is the concerning news- he said in his interview with the local paper that he was planning on retiring...no...that cannot happen!! The Pagoda is a landmark in KL. It has the exact same decor that was there when my mom was in high school. The jello has been sitting in the glass cooler since I was a child. On a cold winters afternoon there is NOTHING like going to the Pagoda for a hot chocolate, fry and egg roll...my mom used to take us there all the time...it's the LAST chinese restaurant in KL- 10 years ago there were 4!!!

SAVE THE PAGODA!!! I don't like change!

UPDATE: I was watching Canada AM this morning and they had Robert Hong on there accepting his check- he is becoming quite the minor Canadian celebrity. He said in his interview that he would retire eventually from his restaurant...which means the Pagoda might be saved!!
